I received a crazy-eyed, unhinged anti-Jasmine Crockett flier from Hillsdale College yesterday (unsolicited). Yes, I am in the district she may run in after Texas redistricting. These people are unhinged, linking her to Kirk’s killer, Luigi Mangione, Jimmy Kimmel, sandwich throwers, etc.

“Lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking” www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...
Texas is about to ban talking on college campuses at night. Seriously.
If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, this bill will ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at the state's public universities.

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology.

It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy.

Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧵

Allow your feelings. Speak your fears, record the minutiae of changes locally as well as nationally. The state I live in has drastically changed in the last 10 years. I need to remember the events, people and sequence of changes.

I urge everyone to keep a personal record of their experiences, observations and reflections of this time in our disordered history. Some of the most potent history has come from diaries, journals and personal letters. The detail you include is a measure of how changes happen and at what pace.
